wars bring out the best AND the worst in some people. I think it is a good thing for the red cross to do when they helped the immigrants. I just wish that the Frank family could have gotten out of the Netherlands. This should be a lesson to everyone, in any country on earth, Do not close your doors to those in need of help and listen to them for that is the only way to keep something like this from happening.
